Today, BAI announced the 2021 winners for the BAI Global Innovation Awards, the industry’s most prestigious awards program, highlighting transformative solutions in financial services worldwide.
This year’s winners were selected by the Innovation Circle , a panel of distinguished judges and advisors from around the world who are at the forefront of innovation. Together with BAI, they identified award finalists from an impressive list of submissions and eventually selected the winners and honorable mentions.
Every year, BAI adjusts the award categories to align with the dynamic nature of the industry. A new category for 2021, Innovation in Digital Transformation, received the most nominations, reflecting the priority financial services leaders have placed on digital technology and improving the customer experience.
“The commitment to innovation in the financial services industry increased again this year, with an even sharper focus on the customer,” said Debbie Bianucci, president and CEO of BAI and Innovation Circle Judge. “In addition to strategically developing a culture of innovation, the organizations with the most impactful innovation start with an outside-in approach.
